I am upset that you cannot even bring yourself to debate topics with me on this forum , I never set out to try and insult you or deliver personal attacks.
I like to think of myself as a well educated person with a good set of morals ready to speak up for injustice wherever I see it.
I have no specific loyalties to any particular group or class or religion. In fact as I have said on this forum on many occasions I consider religion as a deeply personal thing and am suspicious of organised religion as I feel it is used to control people and can be manipulated to set people against one another.
I hope in time we may exchange the odd post or two and that some of my misguided earlier posts may be forgiven.

This kind of sums up the whole thing for me, in every religion you have your fundamentalists that manipulate scripture to use as subjugation.
I don't think any of the warmongers involved at the heart of these conflicts have their respective religions in mind, and it is easy to come across as not being that compassionate about the truly religious caught in the crossfire as it were, the rest of the world looks on dumbfounded.
